Observed Coaching - What is it?

Modified on: Tue, 7 Jul, 2015 at 6:21 AM

Observed Coaching is
the place you increase your coaching mastery and have the opportunity to coach
and listen to your peers coaching. It is a key assessment to your certification
and includes both Participation and Assessment.

You will be observed by
and ICF credentialed Professional Coach (PCC) or Master Certified Coach (MCC),
who will provide you with feedback and assessment of your coaching skills, to
further support your growth as a professional coach.

You must complete
Observed Coaching before you can graduate.

Please note: Our
classrooms are diverse with student experiences in various cultural,
professional and educational backgrounds. Coaching skill, style and learning is
also diverse and unique to each individual. Our intention is to create a safe
space for learning and to focus on your strengths.

You will not be
“criticized”. If we hear something that is not coaching, we will have a
conversation about it in class. You will get to know each other very well
and build strong relationships from this experience.

We hear back from former
students that this class provided so much learning. You will increase
your coaching mastery and confidence as you coach, listen to your peers as they
coach, hear our feedback and acknowledgements, and acknowledge each other as
well.

Please know that we are
here to support you to be the best coach you can be!
